Accused Murderers Appear in Court

No plea was taken from 29-year-old car dealer Jovannie Jones and 23-year-old Jerwin Segura this morning when they were arraigned in Belize City. The duo was charged with the double murder of Felix Martinez and Adelita Gillett, which took place outside Crooked Tree Village on Monday night.

Police Commissioner Chester Williams says there is no indication that robbery was the motive.

Police believe the murder is linked to a failed car deal. The couple reportedly met someone to collect money when Gillett, counting it in the back seat, was ambushed.

The victims were found dead inside their Chevy Equinox SUV.

The accused are scheduled to return to court on March twentieth.
